Mary Currie McEachin died on June 26, 1837 at the age of eighty-seven years at her home in Robeson County. Both John and Mary and their friend, Hector McNeill, are buried in marked graves in the Old McNeill-McEachin family graveyard, north of Wagram, just over the line in Scotland County. John and Mary are ancestors of countless descendants throughout Jeff Davis County and its surrounding counties
